No. They're usually during hunting season and I'd rather be at my camp.



We watched the 2011 LSU Auburn game at the camp after a work detail. Probably about 10 guys there and everyone was quiet except for when the big plays happened.

If you’re going to have a watch party, that one was ideal.

Pretending to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico was one of the stupider things I’ve seen a politician do.

I will never refer to it any other way. I still refer to the arena in Baton Rouge as the Centralplex.
Never did any kind of work with my paw paws.
Non of my great grandfathers made it any close to my lifetime.

But the good news is my 75 year old dad can still climb up on a ladder in July and August and help me build shite. I hope I’m as capable as he is at that age.
# 6 and # 7 are my favorites of this list.

I was starting sophomore year of HS.

This Reboot, is great. An Older Bobby, I like.


Yeah, I mentioned last year in the discussion about season 14, I really do like what they did with Bobby.

He’s a competent, reliable problem solving young adult. He is what you would expect Hank and Peggy’s child to grow up to become.

These new seasons are even better than the original 13 seasons and I hope they continue to make more.

Definitely not good to judge and yet I definitely judge people who say "do what now" when they didn't hear you the first time as being on the slower side and also the less emotionally well adjusted side, because only mentally slower people and adult children ever say it.

I think the rabbit hunters that decimated the populations in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s are dying and the rabbits are returning.


I’d blame predators more so than over hunting.
Everything in the woods eats rabbits. Coyotes, bobcats, hawks, eagles, minks, owls……. The population of all of these animals are on the rise.


On the other hand, our rabbits have been making a comeback since Ida trashed our woods 4 years ago.
Oh no. Hurry up and raise my taxes now before it’s too late!!

One could argue Vietnam started this nation's decline. We haven't recovered from it.



I wasn’t alive then, but this feels accurate to me.
Vietnam just seems to be the point where the American government began to lose its credibility with the citizens and it’s only gotten worse since then.

As bad as Katrina was, that weakening just before landfall was huge



Yeah, pretty sure Katrina was a 5 out in the gulf. It just didn’t make landfall at that strength.


quote:

Doesn't seem like people in Britain, France, Germany, or any other country cared.


We first got involved in Vietnam because France was losing their colony and cried to us that if we didn’t help them there, they would have to pull out of West Germany. We didn’t want to lose any ground to the Soviets in Germany and also didn’t want anymore Asian countries to fall to communism. AKA The Domino Effect.

Camille was not that powerful



It’s one of the few hurricanes to ever make landfall in the US as a CAT 5

I think it was powerful.
Had it done 5 or 6 years ago. I knew I was going to be allergic to a couple of the things, but I ended up reacting to 2/3’s of the things they tested for. Yay me.
It looks like someone lowered a double wide

Just coming here to say it is hot outside. Respect the heat after my near death experience yesterday. I became dizzy, disoriented, massive headache and threw up 1.25x I will now take some "cool down" breaks when outside in this heat. If it can happen to me, someone who lifts, bjjs and has decent cardio.. it can happen to anyone!



What chance do the rest of us mere mortals have?

The first buck I killed I jerked and shot high. Paralyzed him. He was beating his head on the ground after he fell.. I had to cut his throat.


Or you could, shoot him again you know. Bullets aren’t THAT expensive.

I remember this getting blasted by critics when it first came out; I ended up waiting to see it and thought it was judged way too harshly.


I saw Last Action Hero in the theater when it came out and didn’t like it.
I’m not sure if it was promoted correctly and it just wasn’t what I expected.

It definitely grew on me later, because it’s one of my top Arnold movies
